He said he had no clue what to ask for it, so he based his price on the other guy's price of $9500.

Oh, I see!

I didn't include a link, because I'm not sure how to do it.

Couldn't be easier (if you know how to copy and paste)! Just copy the address in the address bar and paste it in your message.

The one listed for 9500 dollars has been on e-bay for quite a long time,  why, I don't know, because it's obviously not going to sell at this figure.  Why the person still has it listed for this length of time is totally beyond me.  All you have to do is go to collectibles, hit monster, then hit "highest prices first" on e-bay, quite easy to do.

Does it cost anything to list an item on Ebay if said item does not sell?



If so that would explain all the listings at completely unreasonable prices.

Nope!

Good info.  I wasn't aware of the policy with e-bay with these on-going listings for a long time with totally unreal price listings.  Still, if the item isn't moving, why not try to list it again with a more reasonable price, doesn't make a lot of sense. So,  unless the merchant is really lazy or just loves to see the item still listed at a "never to buy price" for whatever reason it is just plain dumb in my opinion to keep it on the site.  It's actually sickening to constantly see the same item or items still on after a long time for the same absurd amount of money!!

I agree. He has to realize it's never going to sell at that outlandish price. I  don't understand these people, nor do I want to.

I feel like sending him a PM asking him if he'd take $10 for it, just to piss him off. Lol

If Ebay charged a listing fee that was a certain percentage of the B.I.N. price it would put an end to this kind of silliness.
